Planning a will ensures your wishes are followed after you pass. In your will, you’ll get to specify beneficiaries, trustees, appoint a guardian for your minors, create a pet directive, designate an executor, minimise estate taxes, make charitable donations, and attain peace of mind knowing your hard work will have paid off with South Africa’s best will attorney. Your will is a legal document depicting the legacy you would like to leave, monetarily or otherwise. The will you have vastly impacts who inherits what after your death and how assets and estates are distributed. A will that doesn’t reflect your true wishes isn’t feasible.

Our attorney has more than 9 years of experience helping South Africans decide on beneficiaries, how assets should be distributed, choosing executors and guardians for minors, and writing funeral wishes.

How Does Drafting a Will Work?

Our wills and estates attorney will ask you for information about your assets, debts, and who you would like to inherit your valuables and care for your children. He’ll also advise you on how you might best optimise your taxes and distribute your assets fairly — don’t let your legacy slip away.

If you have specific requirements that must be met before minors or beneficiaries can claim their inheritance (like being of age or meeting certain goals), you can specify this too. Our attorney will also ask you to think about contingencies; for instance, who your second-choice beneficiaries and trustees might be.

Our attorney will draft your will and ask you to sign it in the presence of 2 witnesses. We’ll keep a copy of it. In the event of your passing, our attorney will guide and protect your loved ones through the inheritance process. Later in your life, he can also help you update your will.

Why Do You Need a Will?

When you perish without a will, it’s called dying intestate. Their estate will be distributed according to the Intestate Succession Act of 1987. The Act establishes a hierarchy of inheritance based on family relationships, ensuring a fair and systematic distribution of assets. The system prioritises spouses and children, then parents and siblings, then other blood relatives. If you don’t like how the Intestate Succession Act distributes your assets, you should plan a will. It’s important to write a watertight will to maintain control over what’s important to you and what you’ve worked for, even after you die. If you would like to get help writing a will, consult Credit Boost.

A will empowers you to take control over what happens to things important to you, like your children and house, after you pass. Having control over your assets provides you peace of mind knowing that your wishes are fulfilled, and your loved ones peace knowing that you have expressly communicated what you want.
